Basketball: Breakers suffer heavy loss

8.25am

The Adelaide 36ers have beaten the New Zealand Breakers 104-78 to go to the top of the NBL ladder.

The Breakers lost the plot in the final quarter with the 36ers going on a 20-2 rout in the last five minutes.

Breakers coach Frank Arsego's pointed to his team's inexperience and lack of discipline as reasons for his side's final quarter disaster.

Willie Farley top scored with 26 for the 36ers while Pero Cameron, Mike Chappell and Aaron Olson all scored 17 for the Breakers.

The next game for the Breakers is against the West Sydney Razorbacks on Friday.
